Imagine that there is an effective treatment for dozens of serious ailments - from cancer and Parkinson's disease to headaches and depression. Now imagine that the government is preventing you from using it because it is derived from cannabis, a controversial herb. Marijuana is still looked upon by many as a social evil - yet, scientific evidence shows the compounds it contains can reduce, halt and even reverse many serious health conditions. In HEALING WITH MEDICAL MARIJUANA, medical researcher, Dr. Mark Sircus, has written a clear guide to understanding the healing power of the cannabis plant. Although medical marijuana is becoming legal in more and more places, the controversy continues to block its use for many. For those who may be unable to obtain medical marijuana, this book will provide options that can offer the much-needed help they are seeking.
